Description

In late 2015, a few kilometers east of the tiny village of Ocua, near the southern border of the Cabo Delgado province on the road linking Pemba and Nampula, some of the world’s most beautiful Pink Spinels were unearthed. Since that auspicious day, these stunning stones have recruited a sizeable following of gem connoisseurs, dealers and designers captivated by their beauty. Their ability to fluoresce strongly is highly sought after as it bestows an almost neon glow to the stones when worn in jewelry, especially at night when most modern light bulbs’ propensity to contain LW and SW Ultraviolet light serve to set this phenomenon off

This 1.18 carat Cushion Brilliant Spinel is a true treasure. Sourced from Mozambique, this stunning spinel boasts an attractive pink shade that effortlessly captures and enchants the viewer. The enchanting pink hues are filled with a captivating sparkle that glitters with every move, imbuing the gemstone with an abundance of vibrancy and shimmer. Its brilliant cut accentuates the stone's innate beauty, bringing out its full potential and enhancing its remarkable aesthetic appeal. Its lively and vivacious pink color along with its exceptional brilliance make it a remarkable and standout piece.
